Saturday, January 23, 2016 - Bottle re-corked by chateau in 2011. This was an amazing bottle. The wine was approachable immediately after pop and pour, however after roughly 30 minutes it was singing. On the nose the wine is surprisingly youthful. Notes of blackberries, blueberries, cassis, eucalyptus, and a hint of leather. On the palate the wine is again youthful and perfectly integrated. Low-med tannins, low alcohol, medium bodied with all of the typical St. Julien notes. I felt that it wasn't until the rear palate that you truly got a hint of how old this wine was. Excellent. A real treat.
